Configuring A Port As A Simulated Member Host - HP A8800 Configuration Manual

Step
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface
view or Layer 2 aggregate
interface view or enter port
group view.
3. Configure the port as a static
member port.
4. Configure the port as a static
router port.

Configuring a port as a simulated member host

Generally, a host that runs MLD can respond to MLD queries. If a host fails to respond, the multicast router
might deem that the IPv6 multicast group has no members on the subnet, and removes the corresponding
forwarding path.
To avoid this situation, you can configure a port on the router as a simulated member host for an IPv6
multicast group. A simulated host is equivalent to an independent host. For example, when a simulated
member host receives an MLD query, it gives a response separately. Therefore, the router can continue
receiving IPv6 multicast data.
A simulated host acts like a real host in the following ways:
When a port is configured as a simulated member host, the router sends an unsolicited MLD report
•
through the port, and responds to MLD general queries with MLD reports through the port.
When the simulated joining is disabled on the port, the router sends an MLD done message through
•
that port.
To configure a port as a simulated member host:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface
view or Layer 2 aggregate
interface view or enter port
group view.
3. Configure the port as a
simulated member host.
